And he saved his best shot in his last AB as a Giant, sinking the Dodgers from the post-season in 1982:

R.I.P. Joe.  He was 38 in 1982, and he stole 24 bases in 28 attempts.  Not bad for an old guy...or any guy.  He won the silver slugger that year and was #16 in MVP voting.  .838 OPS, above his career average.

He signed with Philly the next year.  I went to the first SF-Philly game in April 1983.  He got a standing ovation before his first AB.  Giants fans remembered his HR to beat the Dodgers.

Philly was loaded that year.  Besides Carlton and Schmidt, they had Rose, Mathews, Maddox, Tony Perez, Tug McGraw, Ivan DeJesus, Morgan.  But they lost to the O's in the WS.
